To commemorate the 223rd anniversary of signing the document, educational facilities all over the United States are teaching pupils about the Constitution. In 2010, the government determined the courses were really important to do. That is why, according to Fox News, the government has financed the programs for the year. September. 17 was formally named “Constitution Day and Citizenship Day” in 2004, as the result of a law championed from the late West Virginia Sen. Byrd.
The beginning of Constitution Day
In 1940, Congress authorized President Franklin Roosevelt to decree the third Sunday of May as “I Am an American Day,” a celebration of those who had taken the steps and obtained American citizenship. In 1952, Congress passed a law that moved the date to Sept. 17 and renamed it “Citizenship Day.”. Employees of the government had to learn of the Constitution and schools had to have Constitution based upon education if receiving funds on September 17 as a result of the law Byrd passed in 2004.
Constitution being celebrated
The country has lots of seminars going on. These are held at federal and university locations. Americans will get to enjoy speeches, panel discussions, presentations and films on Constitution Day. Not only that, however they can also throw parties. Constitution Day has been the day the “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart is publicizing his rally which will happen in October. 9/11 is something to be talked about.
Constitution Week celebrated by President Obama
Constitution Week, September 17 via September 23, is a time that Barack Obama hopes citizens will recognize the rights we have. ”I encourage federal, state, and local officials, as well as leaders of civic, social, and educational organizations, to conduct ceremonies and courses that acknowledge our Constitution and reaffirm our rights and obligations as citizens of this great Nation,” is what Obama exclaimed.
